CHOPPED CAESAR SALAD PIZZA



Chopped Caesar Salad Pizza image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 3h5m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

1/2 recipe Simple Pizza Dough, recipe follows
Olive oil, for brushing crust
8 ounces mozzarella, sliced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus small chunk for shavingw
1 chicken breast, grilled and sliced thinly
2 romaine hearts, washed and dried, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup Caesar Salad Dressing, recipe follows
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
1 anchovy fillet, rinsed and dried
1 3/4 cups warm water (105 to 110 degrees F)
1 envelope active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups bread flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons salt
Nonstick spray

Steps:

  • Prepare the Simple Pizza Dough according to recipe.
  • Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
  • On a baking sheet brushed liberally with olive oil, stretch the dough to desired shape and thickness. Brush the crust with olive oil and top with the mozzarella slices. Bake the pizza until the dough crisps up and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove the pizza from oven. Top the melted mozzarella with the grated Parmesan and sliced chicken. Toss the romaine hearts with the Caesar Salad Dressing and season with salt and pepper. Top the pizza with the Caesar salad and shave over some Parmesan. Serve and enjoy!
  • Cook's Note: If you don't have a pizza stone at home, no worries, use a well-oiled sheet tray and a hot oven to achieve a crisp bottom on your pizza! Also place the dough on the very bottom rack of your oven. It will help to create that crispy crust.
  • In a blender or food processor, process the Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon juice, olive oil, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, pepper, garlic and anchovy until emulsified and smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.;
  • In a liquid measuring cup, combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow the yeast to dissolve and bloom, about 5 minutes. Once bloomed, add the olive oil.
  • Meanwhile, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour and salt. Stream in the water/yeast mixture and as the dough begins to come together, switch to a dough hook attachment. Allow the dough to knead, adding a bit more flour if needed, so that the dough releases from the sides of the bowl, 1 to 3 minutes. You should be able to touch the dough and not have the dough stick to your fingers. Once the dough has kneaded and has pulled away from the sides of the bowl, remove the dough from bowl to a floured work surface and, with floured hands, continue to knead it by hand for 1 to 2 minutes. Then form the dough into a round ball and place it into a large bowl sprayed with nonstick spray. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean dish towel and let the dough rise in a warm area of your kitchen until it doubles in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. After the dough has risen it is ready to be cooked however you'd like!
  • Cook's Notes: This dough is wet dough, keep bench flour at the ready and make sure to flour your hands when working with the dough. Trust your gut as a chef, if the dough is to wet, add more flour, if it is too stiff, add a little water.
  • Sugar is used to feed the yeast which will help the dough to grow. Bread flour will give you a chewier texture because the flour has more gluten. You don't need to use a thermometer to get the water temperature, it should just feel warm to the touch.

CAESAR SALAD PIZZA



Caesar Salad Pizza image

Our favorite part of this mash-up is the garlicky-peppery pizza crust which tastes just like the croutons you find in a classic Caesar salad.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 Family Size Tea Bags
2 quarts water
Sugar or sweetener, optional
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/3 cups warm water (105 degrees F)
1 tablespoon sugar
One 1/4-ounce packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Kosher salt
2 large ripe beefsteak tomatoes, each cut into 6 to 8 thin slices
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
1/4 teaspoon honey
2 oil-packed anchovies, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely grated
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 large egg yolk1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 romaine hearts, cut into 1/2-inch thick and 1-inch wide pieces (about 8 cups)
A hunk of Parmesan, for topping

Steps:

  • For the iced tea: Pour 4 cups boiling water over teabags in a heatproof pitcher and allow to brew, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove teabags and add sweetener to taste. Stir in 6 cups ice cubes until melted. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Makes two quarts. For the pizza dough: Heat 1/4 cup of the olive oil and the garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until the garlic is softened but not browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Cool slightly.
  • Whisk the water and sugar together in a bowl; sprinkle the yeast over top. Set aside until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in the olive oil-garlic mixture.
  • Whisk the flour and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the yeast mixture. Gradually stir with a wooden spoon to make a rough dough.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes, dusting with more flour as necessary. Form into a large ball. Brush a large bowl with olive oil, add the dough and turn to coat. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, adjust an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat to 450 degrees F. Put a baking sheet on the rack to heat up while the dough rises. (The baking sheet should be the same size or slightly larger than the baking sheet that you will later form the dough on.)
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, brush a rimmed baking sheet generously with half of the remaining olive oil. Put the dough onto the oiled baking sheet and stretch and pat evenly into the pan, making sure that it reaches the edges. Use your fingertips to make dimples all over the dough. Brush with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle lightly with salt. Arrange the tomato slices on the pizza in a single layer, making sure that each bite will have a piece of tomato. Sprinkle the tomatoes lightly with salt. Place the baking sheet with the dough directly on top of the preheated baking sheet in the oven (this helps with a crispy crust). Bake for 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheets and sprinkle the Parmesan over the dough. Continue to bake until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • For the Caesar salad: Meanwhile, whisk together the honey, anchovies, garlic, lemon zest and juice and egg yolk in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the olive oil, then season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Remove the pizza from the oven and transfer to a large platter or cutting board. Toss the romaine with the dressing. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Top the pizza with the salad. Use a vegetable peeler to shave ribbons of Parmesan over the salad. Drizzle with olive oil, cut into pieces and serve.
